During the long hours Of the night the
the only newspaper men who were ad-

were the representatives of the press
They had quarters in what is known as
the lawyers cage, and were within ten
feet OF the anarchists. At o'clock one
of them made o tour of the lower
corridor where Spies, Parsons,
Fischer and Engle were con
fined In each cell were two stalwart
guards, who stood guard over the an
archists. The former chatted in low tones
and whispered Jokes among themselves
to while away the time. But the talk
and whispered jokes were all lost ON the
prisoners. Each one was in the heaviest
of slumbers. Spies lay on one side,
his head on his arm, and
slept as peacefully as a babe.
Engel lay motionless, as did Parsons, ex-
cept that at times the latter started un-
easily as Ii dreams were coursing through
his mind Then at intervals the silence
was broken by the istealthy walk OF an
armed guard, who made the rounds OF

1t is not necessary to detail the numerous
strikes and occasional riots of the following
two years in various sections Of the country;
suffice it, that each one was eagerly seized
upon by the anarchists as fresh proof that
capital was crushing labor
On April 25, 1885, the new board Of trade
building was formally opened; there was o
somewhat riotous popular demonstration
against. it, and Fieldenan Parsons addressed
the assemblage in language more indalnna-
tory than ever before. In July, 1885, there
was general strike of street car employee
One riot was excited which was only
